Mushkin has been well known for its high end memory modules for many years. While in the early years they concentrated on the U.S. market, nowadays Mushkin pushes hard to get a foothold also in the European market as well.

Today we will check out the Mushkin 998681 memory kit. It consists of three modules with 2GB each, rated at 1600MHz and 8-8-8-24 timings at 1.65V. Because this kit does not support XMP for 1366, it also works well with the 1156 platform. On our AM3 board it struggled and reached only 1440MHz, but that seems to be a problem with the BIOS. Of course similar kits are sold with only 4GB in Lynnfield and AM3 flavours.

The uniqueness of this kit, it comes in a nice aluminium box which sets Mushkin apart from any other vendor. This box keeps the modules save and sound, it works fine as gift box too. Inside you find three modules.
